HR 1233 United States House · 119th Congress

To prohibit the obligation or expenditure of Federal funds for disinformation research grants, and for other purposes.

HR 1233 prohibits federal agencies from using taxpayer money to fund specific research programs. It bans spending on disinformation research grants, Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace grants, and the National Science Foundation's Track F program focused on "Trust and Authenticity in Communications Systems." This directly affects federal departments and agencies that would otherwise allocate funds for these research areas, as well as researchers or institutions seeking such grants. The bill makes a concrete change by blocking federal funding for these particular research initiatives, without altering broader disinformation policies or creating new regulations.
